LB Jones to transfer from Wake Forest to Benedict Tigers

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- Kevis Jones’ considerable promise will never be realized at Wake Forest.

Jones, a highly athletic redshirt freshman who played a reserve role last season at outside linebacker, plans to transfer to Benedict College, a Division II program in Columbia, S.C. Jones said he is making the move because he wants to play quarterback, one of several positions he played as a star at Northeast High School in Oakland Park, Florida.

“I want to play quarterback,’’ Jones said Tuesday. “I have no hard feelings toward Wake Forest.’’



Dave Clawson, who succeeded Jim Grobe as head coach in December, said he understood Jones’ feelings and he wished him well.

Clawson also said that Ben Emert, a redshirt junior fullback, will graduate with his class and not return for his redshirt senior season. Emert played in 10 games last season, but did not start.
